You don't have to be a Texas long-horn to enjoy this round-up of superbly smoked and southern rustic Tex Mex cuisine at Smokey Joe's (494 Cedar Lane; Teaneck, NJ. 07666; Telephone: 201.836.7427). Décor is sun-burnt orange against ranch-rawhide woodsy panels; Marlboro manly man and stallion photos adorning the walls. Brown butcher block paper covers tables set with colorful southwestern china (don't forget to ask Joe for doodling crayons).
Joe, the owner, looked for a unique niche in the market and not only found one, but honed it like an art form till it yielded a product that fills the house on a regular basis. Joe, or Yossi to his chevra, told us "Food is life; food is kodesh." "It's about craft and high quality. You've got to give it the time and attention it takes to develop." And indeed Joe has done so. His 74" smoker (which he lovingly dubbed Dimona-2) is the nucleus of his operation, but just as important is his approach to food and business. "You're not producing a widget or stereo; my personal commitment to making great food is a life-time journey!" "It's also about having a good sense of hospitality when Jews come calling at your restaurant. It's a little different than the hachnassas orchim (welcoming guests) we do at home." Joe certainly shared that hospitality with us.
Joe served up vittles Stephen J. Austin or Sam Houston would raise armies to fight for! The table started to fill up with outstanding home made cornbread with onion jam spread (you got to taste 'em together to understand how awesome those flavors are together), refreshing iced tea and fresh squeezed lemon-ade and home made. Still warm tortilla chip (seriously, dangerously, addictive!) with freshly made guacamole for starters.
We were then treated to an assortment of Smokey Joe's favorites. The Joe Dawg, the lamb merguez sausages, were marvelous; superbly smoked and flavored.
They've got six types to choose from, it wasn't easy deciding which to try…
We then demolished their Beef Brisket (well… really… CS did, he kindly let me have one forkful before it was gone!) – smoked for up to 14 hours. The smoked taste did not overpower the brisket taste which was rich, marvelous. In a very uncharacteristic (well you saw the pictures of those ribs, how can you blame me?) uninhibited Flinstonian way, I dug into their long ribs which had been basted in a secret BBQ rub and smoked for around 5 hours in Dimona-2. (Surely, not first date action, unless you want to provide an instant inhibitions dissolver, right from the get-go) They were meaty, packed with flavor and delicious. I literally felt the spices coming through my pores. Quite unexpectedly, my favorite smoked entrée was the chicken.
I just loved the way the subtle smokey flavor worked its way into the soft flesh of the chicken resulting in a fabulous taste. We had no room for their burgers and chocolate mole sauce, which we heard are outstanding. We'll have to come back and try those as well as some of their other popular dishes.
A great homey place to come with family and friends to chill an' enjoy southern smokin' Jewish hospitality.

I'm sorry I'm just getting to this now, in the afternoon at the end of the week. But I just saw it and felt compelled to dig into it.
I don't know when the AP started doing this (this week?), but the AP has a URL that links to every Top 25 poll-voter's individual ballot. (People who used to read my Daily Quickie column on ESPN.com know that this is a big deal for me.)
First of all: HUGE kudos to the AP for bringing more transparency to the entirely-too-sketchy poll-voting process.
(It almost makes up for the AP's hypocrisy in huffily withdrawing from the BCS under the rhetoric of "not wanting to make news," while still arrogantly bestowing, on its own, one of two recognized national titles in college football. But that's not making news or anything.)
But second: It offers a glimpse into the individual ballots that was previously very difficult (you had to look up each voter on their own and hope they published their ballot, which some did and some didn't).
What were some of the more surprising examples of the perception of homerism or scratch-your-head judgment? (I don't mean to pick on these specific individuals; these were the ones that just hit me most viscerally.)
Angelique Chengelis (Detroit News), who had
Bob Thomas (Florida Times-Union) and Susan Miller Degnan (Miami Herald), who both had
Jeff Metcalfe (
Scott Rabalais (
Jon Wilner (
(There were a surprising number of voters who had
Sketchy stuff happens at the bottom of the ballot, too:
Ray Fittipaldo (
Bud Withers (Seattle Times): Puts hometown
And a few kudos to the Colbert-Style Heroes:
Mitch Vingle (Charleston WV Gazette), who had West Virginia No. 4, behind
Kevin Pearson (Riverside CA Press-Enterprise), who had the guts to vote West Virginia No. 1 (Maybe he's doing Vingle a favor...)
Scott Wolf (LA Daily News), who also had West Virginia No. 1, but had hometown USC No. 6. (WVA can NOT claim West Coast Bias against them.)
Doug Lesmerises (Cleveland Plain Dealer), who I actually think was a classmate of mine at Northwestern, whose ballot I simply think most closely matches mine.
Here's my problem: Reporters and columnists are entitled to their opinion, but if they are going to insist on flashing regional bias, I think fans should insist that these folks not be given the responsibility – the privilege, actually – of having such sway over a process that is more a national trust of fandom than personal fiefdom of a couple dozen newspaper reporters.
I didn't spend nearly the time on this that I wanted to, and I'm sorry I'm only finding this now – on a Friday afternoon. Maybe next week I can dig into it more (and earlier in the week). Someone with a gift for Excel could really do some damage on the analysis.
Here's your follow-up task: Check out the various ballots using this link and, via the Comments section on this post, add any more examples of questionable bias (or just sloppy or "YOU'RE-an-expert?!" judgment you might see. The AP might have started this to add in a little more accountability; it's on fans to take it to the next step.-- D.S.
OK, so The House Rock Built had a post about this on Monday. Credit where it's due. Great catch, Brian!

Fireworks 10 p.m. July 4th in Oak Ridge
Oak Ridge Fire Chief Darryl Kerley announced Tuesday that the fireworks display, sponsored by the City of Oak Ridge, will begin at 10 p.m. Thursday, July 4.
The display will be shot from A.K. Bissell Park.
The fireworks will be accompanied by music played live on-site by Merle 96.7 FM. Radio host Jack Ryan will be transmitting live from the park beginning at 6 p.m. and will conclude the live broadcast with a patriotic medley as the fireworks are shot. The countdown to the fireworks begins at 9:30 p.m. Listeners can tune their radios to 96.7 Merle FM and enjoy the show.
The Oak Ridge Community Band will perform its annual 4th of July concert at the A.K. Bissell Park Pavilion beginning at 7:30 p.m.
City Manager Mark Watson encourages everyone to attend this year's celebration.
"By having the fireworks in our main city park, attendees are in close proximity to restaurants and shopping," he said in a city news release. "So come out to the park for a great night of family fun, music and enjoy the patriotic display."
Public parking will be on a first-come, first-served, basis. Parking will not be allowed on the shoulders of South Illinois Avenue or Oak Ridge Turnpike. These roads will remain open throughout the event.
The best view of the show will be from the east end of Bissell Park.
Badger Avenue will close beginning at 9:30 p.m. and will not reopen until the conclusion of the fireworks display.

It's officially the anniversary of the day Steve Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple and let Tim Cook take the reins. Yesterday, we gave you the five biggest things Apple has done since Cook took over last year, but his tenure has only just begun. So we put together a wish list of what we'd like to see Cook do in his second year—or five—as CEO of Apple. Some of the suggestions are admittedly more likely to happen than others, but with a new CEO at the helm who works differently than Jobs, we can't help but dream a little.
Without further ado, here's the Ars staff's wish list for Apple's second year under Tim Cook.
10. License OS X
We've all heard this one before. And although it's probably the least likely of the items on this list, it still remains in the fantasies of many users. But it doesn't have to be like a recreation of what happened in the '90s when Apple tried to license out the Mac OS last time—Ars contributor Chris Lee thinks a limited license for OS X on OEM would help to keep things in check while allowing professional users more freedom.
"If Apple took the same walled garden approach that it is doing with software, it could keep the Mac Pro alive, while reducing the overhead associated with the hardware development. It would also give professionals a reason to stay with the Mac," says Lee. "I know that many would see licensed sales as cannibalizing Mac sales, but, if Apple isn't interested in making a Mac Pro anymore, and it writes the license terms such that it gets to vet what is sold with an OS X license, then it would do very well, I think."
9. Bring some manufacturing jobs back to the US
You know all that hubbub over Apple's manufacturing partner Foxconn? Some of those problems with working conditions and human labor might be better addressed if manufacturing wasn't handled entirely overseas by companies following (or not following) different laws. Social Editor Cesar Torres thinks even a token effort would be better than nothing.
"I'd like for Tim Cook to shift a small set of manufacturing jobs for Apple's hardware back to the US. We know that building a whole Apple product in the United States will never be cost-effective for Apple or consumers, but it would be nice if some more select parts could be made here," says Torres. "That way, Apple could keep its focus on high-quality components, and give a boost to the economy by providing it with a financial and psychological boost. Would this be just a symbolic move? Perhaps, but it could set a nice precedent in this current economic slowdown."
8. Invest in an independent research lab
Wouldn't it be cool if Apple used some of its giant cash pile to fund an independent research and development center that benefits the public good? We're thinking something like the level of R&D that goes into the iPhone, but not just for Apple to make use of in order to add to that cash pile. At least that's what Science Editor John Timmer wishes for.
"Use the pile of cash to open something like Xerox PARC," asserts Timmer. "Put aside a permanent endowment so it never has to be at the whims of corporate cost cutting. Recognize that the company wouldn't be there without it, and take the risk that some other company will eventually capitalize on the work done there."
7. More transparency on OS X and Mac plans
When Tim Cook told the world that "something really great" was coming for Mac Pro users in 2013, it marked the first time in recent history in which Apple actually hinted at anything relating to its future hardware plans. That's in addition to the advance notice given ahead of last year's WWDC that Cupertino was going to talk about iCloud and iOS 5—another freakishly rare acknowledgement from the company. Ars contributor Dave Girard likes where this is going, and wants to see even more of it for the sake of professional users on the Mac.
"I'd like to see less secrecy for the Mac Pro and OS X plans from now on. The smartest thing that Tim Cook did recently, from my standpoint, was break his vow of secrecy to say that there was a new Mac Pro coming in 2013. Otherwise, there would be a conga line of pundits crying 'the Mac Pro is dead' until sometime in 2013—and who could say it wasn't, since that's how it would have looked? Secrecy is very important in the crazy competitive world of phones, but the Mac Pro users, as well as developers like Autodesk, need clear commitments to make plans," says Girard.
"I've seen other developers like Onyx Tree drop their Mac products because Apple doesn't provide any plans that reassure developers they will have the tools they need to make their apps for OS X. Apple needs to figure out which features of OS X or the Mac Pro are secrets worth keeping (GUI, design aspects, etc.) and which are best made public knowledge to keep developers and users happy, and give developers that knowledge as early as possible, because they plan product timelines years in advance. Apple's commitment to pros can't just be a redesign of the Mac Pro—they need to do this."
6. Make the Apple TV more than a hobby
The Apple TV is actually selling relatively well—Apple recently said it sold 4 million of the set-top boxes during fiscal 2012, and that was with one quarter left to go. (The company said it sold 1.3 million during the third quarter alone.) That's not iPhone-level sales, but it's roughly the same as Xbox 360 sales during the same period. So what's up with the "hobby" status? Creative Director Aurich Lawson thinks it's time to shed the hobby moniker and go all out on the TV market.
"My wish would be for Apple TV to become a more serious product. By that I mean that it would cross over more aggressively with the iOS ecosystem and leverage the availability of apps. Easy example: HBO Go. It's on the iPhone and iPad, but not Apple TV," Lawson argues. "Now there might be some licensing issues (see lack of AirPlay for the app on said devices) but it's available right now on Roku boxes, Samsung TVs, and Xbox 360, so it's pretty obvious that the whole 'hooked up directly to a TV' thing isn't an insurmountable obstacle. I would guess the app is already 90 percent written, it just needs a little remote-friendly UI polish. Why haven't we seen that? Companies scramble to make iOS apps, but the Apple TV getting more content sources is an afterthought. Look how long it took for Hulu to come over."
5. Offer streaming, subscription music
It has long been rumored that Apple has been working on offering a streaming music subscription along the lines of what Lala used to offer (before Apple bought it, of course). But we have yet to see anything like that come to fruition, despite the recent launch of iTunes Match. iTunes Match is still highly dependent upon your purchasing downloads from the iTunes Store, whereas the new hotness when it comes to online music has largely been in the hands of companies like Spotify and Rdio.
So why isn't Apple staying up-to-date with what the kids like these days? Senior Business Editor Cyrus Farivar believes Apple hasn't even begun to capitalize on the technology or talent the company acquired when it bought Lala. He wants to see the company take a leap of faith with its iTunes music products and launch something similar to what Rdio currently offers, but with that signature Apple twist.
4. Inject some steroids into the Mac line
Sure, Apple makes updates to (some of) its Macs all the time, but in recent years, many of those changes have focused on reducing size and weight with moderate performance increases. Ars contributor John Siracusa thinks it's time for Apple to chest-thump again when it comes to the performance of its Macs, which would benefit not only Mac users, but also Apple's legions of iPad and iPhone users.
"Tim Cook needs to revitalize the desktop Mac product line," says Siracusa. "The shift to mobile and laptops has brought absolute performance increases in the Mac product line to a near-standstill in the past few years. Many believe that computers are far from 'fast enough.' In the same way that car makers create flagship super-cars or racing teams, with the technology slowly trickling down to their everyday products, Apple needs to resume pushing the performance envelope at the top end."
3. Diversify the iOS product line
Apple likes to keep things simple when it comes to its product lineup, but sometimes things can be a little too simple. There's currently one size of iPad (in several different storage size configurations), for example, and it took years for the iPhone to be available from any other carrier in the US besides AT&T. As evidenced by an internal Apple survey conducted in 2011, a fair number of people who bought Android devices did so because they didn't want to leave their current wireless providers just because of the iPhone, not to mention a wider variety of screen sizes. Apple has already seen some wild success with the iPhone and iPad, but what if the company added more options to its entire iOS product line in order to really rake in the cash?
That's what Siracusa wants to see, too. "Tim Cook needs to diversify the iOS product line in both directions, high- and low-end. The Mac never dominated the PC market, but the iPod did (and does) dominate the music player market," he says. "The iPod started as a $500 Mac-only curiosity but expanded to a market-spanning range of products from a $40 iPod shuffle to a $300 iPod touch. Domination requires diversity, and iOS stands a chance of dominating the mobile market. The iPhone eventually expanded to Verizon, but it was a long time in coming. Apple needs to move faster."
2. Make a larger commitment to OS security
Apple has been taking a bit of a beating lately when it comes to the security of OS X, partly because the company used to openly brag about its magical malware repelling abilities. The MAC Defender outbreak, followed by the much bigger Flashback scare, has opened the door for plenty of criticism from security researchers. Apple's slowness in patching the Java vulnerability that enabled the spread of Flashback didn't help, either. That's why Security Editor Dan Goodin thinks it's time for Apple to double down and get serious about security, and he's not just talking about Mountain Lion's new Gatekeeper feature.
"A lot of security people really want to see Tim Cook start a software development life cycle that's similar to what Microsoft and Adobe have. A comprehensive program that builds security in to each product from the very beginning," Goodin argues. "It should also involve a formalized response mechanism to quickly react to keep customers safe when security vulnerabilities or attacks are discovered.
"Over the years, Apple has steadfastly refused to publicly discuss security at all. Tim Cook would be doing his customers a big favor if he adopted the kind of SDLC program that Microsoft and Adobe currently have."
1. Cater to power users again
When I asked the Ars staff for their Tim Cook wish lists, this was by far the most commonly requested item. "Power" and professional users just feel ignored by Apple, and they'd really like to see that change in the coming year. As we mentioned earlier, Cook did throw power users a bone when he hinted that Mac Pro updates were on the way, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. People who are interested in some heavy-duty hardware want to buy Macs and iOS devices too.
"Whether it's OS X, iOS, or just about any other product that Apple sells, their strength is also a weakness," says Ars Editor-in-Chief Ken Fisher. "By catering so heavily to everyday users, power users are sometimes left feeling like an afterthought in the Apple universe. To this day, power users lack features that are readily available in competing products. For instance, having one's phone on a timer, more custom power options for a phone or computer, or customizations to the user interface would all be a great start."
Ars contributor Iljitsch van Beijnum agrees wholeheartedly.
"After 'back to the Mac,' it's time to go 'back to the Unix power user.' In the early 2000s, many power users switched from other platforms—especially Unixy ones—to the Mac," says van Beijnum. "Here, they found a beautiful, simple, and fast graphical user interface on top of powerful Unix underpinnings, with AppleScript and the like to make software from different developers work together to get things done efficiently.
"Since then, Apple has been courting less tech-savvy users with much effect. And that's great. Simplifying the user experience where there are unneeded complications is also good for power users. But these days, Apple seems to be ignoring power users (see the state of the server product and the Mac Pro), and is getting perilously close to pushing them away by crossing the line between making OS X simpler and making it dumber. We want to tinker! We want to customize!"

Is Apple looking to get into the digital lending and resale game? A recently published Apple patent application indicates as much, making publishers wonder whether Apple is truly their friend or foe. The patent addresses how licensed content such as e-books, music, movies, or even software can be moved between users while attempting to respect the rights of copyright holders. But even with provisions that would pay copyright holders a portion of the content's resale price, publishers and musicians are unlikely to cheer, as they see digital resale as a threat to their existing revenue models.
Apple's patent application describes a system that would include embedded user information as part of the DRM of each file. When the file is given or resold to another user, the ownership of the data would change and the original purchaser would no longer be able to access the file—only the new owner would be able to open it. Ideally, this would address concerns about simply making copies of files that both the original and new owner can access.
But this isn't just about figuring out who can access the files and when they can do it—Apple also included provisions for when money is exchanged for the "used" file. "As part of the change in access rights, the transferee may pay to obtain access to the digital content item. A portion of the proceeds of the 'resale' may be paid to the creator or publisher of the digital content item and/or the entity that originally sold the digital content item to the original owner," reads the application.
But while this sounds like a boon to digital customers and libraries, the legality of reselling digital files remains up for debate. As an example, Capitol Records accused a company describing itself as "your favorite pre-owned record store, but for digital music files" of facilitating rampant music copying in early 2012. The company, ReDigi, fought back against a copyright infringement suit by saying that no "copying" was taking place between users, and it only facilitated the sale of files between buyers and sellers.
On the flip-side, a European court ruled last June that customers do have the right to resell purchased software regardless of whether it came on physical media or via the Internet.
The reason some publishers are worried is that they think the resale of digital files—whether music, or e-books, or anything in between—will devalue their original purchase price and eventually ruin the market. "The resale of e-books would send the price of new books crashing," Authors Guild President Scott Turow told the New York Times. "Who would want to be the sucker who buys the book at full price when a week later everyone else can buy it for a penny?"
Indeed, a second-hand market for digital files could complicate things between publishers and the stores that sell their content—they would likely have to negotiate very favorable resale licensing deals before publishers get on board. And Apple's not the only one looking at how to do this: Amazon has filed its own patent application for the resale of digital content, which was published earlier this year. With digital powerhouses like Apple and Amazon seemingly on the same wavelength, content owners may be feeling the pressure to comply, even if they think their work is being devalued.
There's another angle to these patents as well. If Apple and Amazon were to create markets for used digital goods, it would put them in conflict with the software industry. The software industry has fought hard for the right to stop resales it doesn't like—and it has generally won the argument that digital goods are "licensed" and can't be resold. The key case here was Vernor v. Autodesk, which was won by the software industry.
Of course, patent applications are just that: applications. And even if the USPTO were to grant them full patent status, there's no guarantee that either Apple or Amazon will end up making their ideas into a reality. Both companies own deep patent portfolios for ideas that will never see the light of day, so publishers don't have to start shaking in their boots just yet. That said, it's clear these companies are at least thinking about how to make their digital content offerings more appealing to users, so it seems unlikely that this will be the last we'll hear about such ideas.

Furry friend helps patient through blood treatment
George and Sue Figel of Ionia say their Maltese named Levi is a life save throughout medical treatment and every day activities.
Two years ago, George was diagnosed with a blood disorder called porphyria, in which heme is not made properly within hemoglobin. He undergoes six-hour treatments twice each week and is in the care of Sparrow Ionia oncologist and hematologist Dr. Muhammad Yaser Hamdan.
Soon after diagnosis, George said Hamdan suggested he find a dog to use as a therapeutic resource.
"I didn't want one," said George, adding he was skeptical about the idea. "I had had hunting dogs, but never an indoor dog."
However, Sue said she found a Maltese breeder in Holt, and one of the puppies was immediately attracted to the couple and appeared to know he was meant to help George. They named him Levi.
"He just clinged to me," George said. "He sat in my lap the whole ride home. He was like a little baby."
He said he soon noticed a change in not only his mood, but his health.
"It seems like after I got him I started clearing up," George added.
Sue said Levi has been easy to train and seems to sense when George is in need of his company or comfort when undergoing his medical treatment, which brings him much pain.
"He makes me feel good when he's around," George added. "I don't even think about my pain when he's around."
Levi also gives him something to focus on besides his condition and treatment, and provides motivation to leave the house and get some exercise, George said. He added besides Sparrow Ionia Hospital, there are a few businesses in the county that will allow Levi to enter the building alongside them.
In addition, the couple has a written statement from Hamdan stating the importance for Levi to be at George's side at all times for medical purposes.
Ionia Sparrow Hospital nurse Terri Rowley said has seen evidence of positive results from Levi's presence.
"When he talks about his dog, his face lights up," said Rowley. "When he's here for hours (and Levi isn't here), all he talks about is getting home to his dog."
The Figels said they are extremely thankful for Sparrow Ionia Hospital staff members who not only encouraged them to have a therapy dog, but welcomes the canine into the facility.
"(He is) the best thing that has ever happened to me. I wish I'd done this years ago," George added. "He has extended my life by two years already."

The cloud. It's where our music, bookmarks, passwords, and even our backups increasingly can be found. A decade ago, online storage was paltry—10 megabytes, or maybe 20 if the service provider was feeling generous. Now, it's measured in gigabytes.
The cloud's increased capacity is a good thing, as the files many of us are passing around have grown in size as well. In addition to the increasing generosity of personal backup and data hosting services, there's also been a growth in the number of free file-sharing services to help move those multi-gigabyte files around. We've got a couple of favorite services that we like to use:
- Box offers 5GB of free space for anyone who signs up. It also integrates with other cloud services, such as Google Apps, if your needs fall in that direction
- We also like Dropbox. It comes with just 2GB of space, but the native Windows, Mac, and Linux clients integrate nicely into each platform, making it a snap to use.
While these two are our personal favorites, we wanted to tap and share the wisdom of our readers. What's your favorite free file-sharing service? Name it and defend it, and we'll list some of the best suggestions below.
- UnlimitedExpressionist: I'm very hesitant posting this website because once it's publicized the speeds will probably drop quite a bit but I am a huge fan of Filedropper.com
- themantis: Windows. Live. Mesh. Most underrated Microsoft product, and probably the most reliable synchronization service available for PCs. Works on Macs, too.
- clamknuckle: I like minus. They give you 10 gigs for free, and an extra gig for everyone you refer, up to 50 gigs They have Android and iOS apps as well.
- Asperin: Its funny nobody mentioned A Drive. They offer the maximum storage space for free to my knowledge, a whooping 50GB.

CIA Wants To Know How Its Benghazi Presence Was Revealed
The agency's presence may have incited the attack
More than eight months after the 9/11 anniversary attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, the CIA is still trying to find out how the attack that killed two former Navy SEALs at the agency's annex transpired.
The attack on the CIA base came more than seven hours after an armed mob stormed the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, setting the compound ablaze and killing U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and Sean Smith, a State Department communications officer who was with him.
On Wednesday, Deputy CIA Director Mike Morell—along with CIA officers who were at the agency's Benghazi base on the night of the attack—testified at a classified hearing before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In the closed hearing, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the proceedings, Morell was asked by Republican members about how the second wave of attackers knew to go to the CIA annex, which was a mile away from the diplomatic mission. Morell responded that at this point the CIA did not know whether the attackers had known the location of the annex or learned about it on the evening of the attack, according to these sources.

Hi kids! I've missed you, really I have, and I've been thinking of most of you (well, not you lurkers since I don't know who you are) whilst playing in my garden. I think my vegetable plot and garden have become the most cared-for of "works in progress" around the Fish household. I will share a full-on garden-nerd post soon, but this post is really about getting you caught up on a few crafts I have managed to pull off…a little sewing in between the sowing, if you will…
When last we "W.I.P."ed together I told you about the cloth napkin I was making for Guppy which was going to double as a doudou. I'm thrilled to say that it was a success with both Guppy, who loves it and uses it for sadness-free lunches at the school cafeteria, and also with the school's auxiliary staff who are thankful it's so easy to recognise and has her name embroidered on it (making noon-time napkin identification much easier for them!). The pink cotton side is from one of Guppy's receiving blankets, and the cotton canvas fabric was a gift from a good friend, so lots of great lovey-vibes went into the making of this napkin.
This was my first embroidery project that was to get so much use, and I admit I was a wee bit concerned about it initially. It's been washed loads of times so far, however, and has stood the test of abuse just fine. The only bit that's been wonky is the, for lack of a better word, "slishy" blue floss I used for the poodle. I don't think I'm going to be using this floss for anything in the near future as it just keeps slishing and sliding itself untied and I end up with a few sloppy stitches after the wash, but it seems to be fixed now.
The other project of interest was these little heart pins Guppy and I made for her teachers and the staff at her school :
Guppy picked the colours for the fabric and the embroidery floss, assembled the halves, and I did the stitching. I found these adorable checked wax-paper bags in my workshop – I wish so much I could remember where they came from because I want more! – and we put a giant heart-shaped vegan sugar cookie with lemon icing and heart sprinkles in each bag, delivered with each heart pin. They were the perfect fit, and made giving a sugar cookie a little more elegant, really. I mean, sugar cookies are classy, but that just added a little touch of professionalism to the deal.
Do you have any new W.I.P.s in the works? We would love to see what you're up to! Snap a shot of your "in progress" masterpiece and add it to the W.I.P. Wednesday Flickr Pool. Whatever your works-in-progress, have a crafty week, and don't forget to see what the other Wipsters are working on.

I've spoken before of my predilection for cheese, so I was delighted to find a nice selection of cholov Yisroel cheeses from Natural & Kosher.
I picked up their Mozzarella (slices), Pizza Cheese (slices), Cheddar (slices), Muenster (slices), Processed Pepper Jack (round slices),
Mozarella Cheese Sticks (for the grandkids), Pizza Cheese (shredded) and the Chef's Blend (natural Cheddar & Pizza Style Cheese).
I found all of them very good (so did my grandkids!). I used the shredded Pizza Cheese to make myself a 7" personal pizza
It was so good and easy I had to keep on making it for lunch for the next 4 days. Here's my simple recipe:
CS' Personal Pizza
2 Natural & Kosher Shredded Pizza Cheese
1 Package Roland Oven Roasted Tomatoes
1 Can of tomato sauce
2 packages (3 in each package) of 7" pizza crusts
Spices: oregano, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper
Cover each Personal Pizza with tomato sauce, sprinkle with shredded cheese and spices; add the oven roasted tomatoes and sprinkle again, very liberally, with shredded cheese and spices. Preheat oven to 450F degrees, when ready to put it the pizza lower heat to 425F and cook for 8 to ten minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is all melted.
As I took the pizzas out of the oven, the aroma was strong and made our mouths water. I used to think I was the fast eating mouth in the west, but these set of 2 grandkids left me in the dust! The Mozarella Sticks didn't last very long either. I guess they really must have like the pizza and the sticks.
It was fast and easy to prepare. Once upon a time I used to make my own pizza dough as well, I no longer find it necessary these days.
The dish used in the photo of the pizza is part of a set I picked up at Happy Home Housewares (1407 Coney Island Avenue,, Brooklyn, NY 11230; Telephone: 718. 692.2442). It is part of a set I use for milchig dishes, Attractively priced, it's melamine, easy to clean and with a design based on Gianni Versace's similar themes.
I've been using these cheeses for other recipes, like pasta sauces, omelettes, salads and so on. In each case the results were delectable. Naturally kosher, naturally delicious!!!

Assuming that rational basis scrutiny is the appropriate level of review (which is far from clear in the majority opinions in Romer and Lawrence, both of which ducked the question), what is the strongest case that can be made for a legitimate state interest in restricting marriage to opposite-sex couples? I take it as given that if the statutes are constitutional, the fear of judicial intervention is an adequate explanation for turning them into constitutional amendments, so it's the original statutes that I am thinking of.Note that I didn't say that I personally have these preferences. I'm trying to say what a court might find to be a rational basis if it were considering the constitutionality of the state constitutional amendment. As I've said many times on the blog, I support same-sex marriage, and I do not disparage gay relationships. I'm simply saying that a court might find rationality in the expression of special respect for the traditional relationship and that this respect -- with additional benefits and protections -- will encourage more people to form these relationships. I'm not saying this is a good thing to believe, just that it is one belief that is at least rational. I am assuming there are some people who are influenced by social pressure to form traditional male-female families who would, with sufficient social approval, chose a same-sex relationship.
[One answer is] that majoritarian moral preference, standing alone, is an adequate justification for legislation. One reason I have doubts about that principle is its implications for free speech, actually, but let's leave that aside.
Ann made a more empirical suggestion -- I hope I am accurately recounting it as follows:
1. We prefer heterosexual couples to homosexual couples
2. There exist some number of persons, however small, who enter into heterosexual marriages because homosexual marriages are unavailable.
Back to Howard:
One question is empirical; does a state need any evidence to demonstrate the existence of this class of persons?Answers?
The other question, it seems to me, is the basis for the preference. Avoiding the appeal to morality, one gets to the policy arguments (better for children, etc.) These seem awfully weak, and indeed analytically incoherent. [One might] say moral preference is enough, but that doesn't necessarily solve the problem. Moral preference between classes of persons, after all, are definitely not a permissible basis for legislation -- it has to be moral preference about conduct (Scalia says "lifestyle,") right? In other words, we are talking about sex.
So we come down to a moral preference for the kinds of sexual conduct that would be engaged in by the class of persons -- perhaps they are bisexual, for example -- who would enter into heterosexual marriages today but would not have done so if the alternative of homosexual marriage were available.
The problem there is selectivity: we don't use any similar moral preferences in determining who may marry in any other context. In the debate the other night I proposed the following indicia for concluding that expressions of a purported state interest are a pretext for animus:
novelty - an argument of a kind we have never heard before
selectivity -- a principle that is not applied in any other context
targeting -- a principle that is not applied to any other class of citizens
extremism -- a principle that if applied consistently would yield obviously unacceptable results.

Fertilizer, spawning stress blamed for big fish kill in Framingham
The death of 500 to 800 sunfish in Framingham's Norton Pond is one of only about 20 so-called fish kills since this summer, officials said yesterday, and the single-species death signifies high stress more than pollution.
Low oxygen levels, partly because of invasive plant life known as water meal, and high stress among the sunfish during their spawning season were the likely culprits in the massive deaths, which led to a strong odor in the neighborhood and a layer of green film similar to cornmeal on the pond last week.
Because the pond, the second smallest of Framingham's quintet, is surrounded by homes, a high nutrient level caused by lawn fertilizer is likely to have led to the outgrowth of water meal, officials said.
This is believed to be the first fish kill in Framingham in many years, said Conservation Agent Michele Grzenda, but the phenomenon is not uncommon across the state.
Richard Hartley, fish kill coordinator for the state Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, said there have been about 20 across the state since late spring, a number that has been consistent for several years in the 3,000 or so lakes and ponds in Massachusetts.
"It isn't anything we're worried about," said Hartley. "It's a natural phenomenon of a shallow, weedy pond."
The fish will be left in Norton Pond to decompose and eventually be eaten, said Grzenda.
There have been no other fish kills reported this year in MetroWest, said Hartley, with the closest seen in Andover.
High temperatures "can play a role in this," said Hartley. With a heat wave marked by several days above 90 degrees, the water temperature can often approach the air temperature, he said.
Hartley is encouraged, though, to see that Framingham's fish kill, estimated to have killed 500 to 800 sunfish last week, only claimed one type of fish.
He estimated there are about a dozen types of fish in the pond.
Had the kill claimed more than one type, said Hartley, pollution of the pond would be the more likely cause.
At a time when sunfish are spawning, with nests set up along the surface of ponds and lakes, a lack of oxygen is even more likely, he said.
"This is a very stressful time for these fish and they're using up a lot of energy," said Hartley.
Grzenda expects the Conservation Commission to talk this winter about how to better deal with the water meal outbreaks in the future. The commission sent letters to the neighbors of all ponds earlier this year, warning them to be cautious about the fertilizers used on their lawns, she said.
"There are a lot of long-term solutions," said Hartley. "But sometimes you need the quick fix to get a situation under control."

Bonus Bolero (Plus Skirt!)
The bolero is the bonus variation from Vogue's New Book for Better Sewing, which is view C of vintage Vogue 7259. I had to draft the front piece on my own since it was missing from my pattern. It went pretty well, if I do say so myself. I decided to make the sleeves elbow length, which I thought was the perfect compromise between what VONBBS wanted (short sleeves) and what Doris wanted (LONG sleeves!).
The skirt is Vogue 8603, and I am IN LOVE. I will definitely be making this again, probably in black stretch suiting, with about two inches added to the hem. It falls just above my knee as is, and I prefer a just below the knee length. Here's the back view:
Take that, hip ruching!
Anyway, I can add more pictures later if you're interested in some detail shots. I must say that I'm quite proud of this little ensemble!
(Oops. I mean this little Ahn-SAHM, of course.)

Wow. Just wow! You are rocking the sexy-without-trying-to-be-sexy Ahn-SAHM.ReplyDelete

How freaking beautiful is that skirt (sorry bolero). I admit it, I was skeptical, but I must now purchase the pattern and make that skirt RIGHT AWAY! Holy cow! People will be FOLLOWING you down the street, begging you for your phone number!ReplyDelete
I also really like the little jewellery you have on your bolero - what is it?
I think this is the most spectacular outfit you have made yet.
- CarlottaOctober 28, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Hello, Gertie! 'Ensemble' is not to be pronounced like this at all! It's the same 'en' as the french way to pronounce GivENnchy, and of course, the 'bl' is not to be omitted (we sometimes eat the end of our words, but at a slow speed we pronouce all the letters we write, I promise!)ReplyDelete
It would be great to have a full-length pic of the skirt, it seems lovely. The ruffles especially are really super-glamourous!!!
(Oh, and thank you for mentioning Burda 8155, I'm currently making my first (above the knee) pencil skirt this week!)
Wow, that's gorgeous. I love the skirt -- I'm going to have to add it to my dream pile of patterns to make!ReplyDelete
Oh, Carlotta. I knew one of you people who actually speak French would come in and correct me! Anyway, I'm afraid I can't stop saying it that way now. I'm incorrigible. My apologies to your language.ReplyDelete
ejvc, the jewelry is a vintage sweater guard, meant to hold your cardigans in place! I'll take some better pictures of it so you can see.
Wow, that is gorgeous! I'm green with envy. Zowie!ReplyDelete
You look perfect! I'm not usually a fan of boleros (actually I like knit ones, but jacket-boleros usually don't do it for me for some reason), but this one is so soft and perfect!ReplyDelete
You knocked another one out of the block! The only suggestion I would make is to wear the sweater guards down a bit closer to the neckline.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 28, 2009 at 10:57 AM
Well, NOW you're going to need a big stick to beat people away; men will want your number, women will want your clothes! You look amazing!ReplyDelete
That suit is to die for!!!Amazing is all I can say. You are officially my fashion icon. I admire you so much for being true to your own fashion sense and confident in it. I want to be that way and not so easily swayed by trends. The skirt is smokin'. I will definitely be getting that Vogue pattern. Please tell me more about sweater guards and where they are available. Etsy?ReplyDelete
- CarlottaOctober 28, 2009 at 11:06 AM
I actually find it funny pronounced that way, Gertie... a little bit like Maggie Prescott would say in 'Funny face'!ReplyDelete
I noticed that the same sewing terms often stand for something slightly different in french and in english, so it's logical that it must be the same for the pronouciation: they're fully part of English language now.
Wow, thank you everyone! Lsaspacey, you're right, I moved the sweater guard down and it looks better. I got a lot of vintage sweater guards on eBay for around $10! I'll do a post on them tomorrow, with better pics. :)ReplyDelete
I love the skirt.ReplyDelete

Oh, HELLO DOLL!! WOW! You AND the outfit look mah-vah-lus!ReplyDelete
Life? Get in the way of sewing?
Surely you jest?!
Ah, but it is the sad truth, none the less!
You did a grand job, as is the norm for you and I hope you get oodles of compliments on it today!!
Oh!! that skirt is great! I guess it is difficult to make it, right? would you post pictures how you made that? mmmm sorry I donno the word in english , but I want to see how u did that, the sides of the skirt.ReplyDelete
Thanks =)
Each thing you make seems to be more beautiful than the last. You are such a talented seamstress, and a big inspiration to this novice - I will be purchasing that skirt pattern to make when my skills improve!ReplyDelete
That is one of the best things you have made...and I think everything you make is spectacular! I'm a lurker on your blog but I just had to comment this time! Way to go...keep it up :)ReplyDelete
That skirt is so freaking cute, very Nanette Lepore.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 28, 2009 at 12:10 PM
That ensemble is so beautiful. I simply adore the color. And the hip-ruching is divine. The whole outfit, in fact, is decidedly gorgeous.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 28, 2009 at 12:13 PM
MARVELOUS! Both pieces. And the color? Perfection.ReplyDelete
My dear. YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!ReplyDelete
That is practically my dream outfit. Would you sew me one??? (I'm sort of joking)
Great job!!!
- AnonymousOctober 28, 2009 at 12:22 PM
FABULOUS!! The fit is amazing, you certainly need a wardrobe of those skirts! Vogue is going to need extra staffers to keep up with the orders. ;)ReplyDelete
Love, love, love it! I'm just in awe!ReplyDelete
Lovely job!ReplyDelete
Looks gorgeous and even though I was very skeptical about the skirt ruching, it looks absolutely lovely on you!ReplyDelete
The entire Ahn-SAHM is lovely, but that hip ruching might be the death of me.ReplyDelete
Fantastic! Wow, you look amazing!ReplyDelete
Gertie - you look good in red! Beautiful ensemble and I love the addition of the sweater guard!ReplyDelete
Great ensemble! Red is definitely your color! You look fabulously vintage!ReplyDelete
- elizabetheOctober 28, 2009 at 1:17 PM
This is just beautiful. Congratulations. Please detail shots please.ReplyDelete
Pardon me while I wipe away the drool. What a DARLING Ahn-SAHM you have there. I think I need to make this bolero just so that I have something to wear my sweater guard (with little gold owls) with. And if my toosh would look even half as cute as your's in that skirt I would make it in a heartbeat! I may have to do just that and hope for the bestReplyDelete
This is fantastic! So beautiful! I love the skirt! Will have to make that one myself, I think...ReplyDelete
And YES more photos please!!!
Total success. Love the whole look.ReplyDelete
Regarding the sweater guard, I too immediately thought it should be lower. To my horror I realized that I thought that because I am now old enough to remember when they were not vintage items-- and they were always worn further down. I then realized you could actually wear them anywhere you want. haha I also bought one on E-bay a while back because they are really practical.
I once had a friend who said she was a graduate of the Milwaukee School of the French Accent and I discovered from conversations with her that I have a bit of a gift in that area myself. A bean toe!
Oh my... this is stunning!! I love the Ahn-SAHM-(blu?)! I've seen different variations of the skirt and your is my favorite. I'm going to have to go buy that pattern!ReplyDelete
Absolutely gorgeous - the colour, the cut, the fit! The bolero is perfect (I wasn't convinced by the proportions of the small pattern pic at the time and preferred the longer version, but this is simply fabulous. I'm in awe), and the skirt is... wow! Amazing. I can imagine there will be rush on that pattern now... you should ask for a percentage! Can't wait to see the full length pics. And I'm also very curious to find out more about these mysterious sweater guards that you speak of... Love coming on to your blog because so often I discover something new!ReplyDelete
This is just LOVELY!! So stunning and that skirt is so flattering!! Think this is a strong contender for my favourite project so far!! xxxReplyDelete
Unbelievable gorgeous. And I hate it when life gets in the way of sewing and blogging, too. So glad Vogue is on sale this weekend, as I will be needing that skirt pattern.ReplyDelete
Wow! Well done! And as for reconstructing the front pattern piece? Please. Awesome. I have to resist copying everything you do so I don't look like a total stalker, but trust me, it crosses my mind! It's gorgeous!!!ReplyDelete
What they said! Great call on the bolero sleeve length, BTW; it's perfect!ReplyDelete
I, too, now need to get this skirt pattern (hope it isn't sold out already).
Wow, what for a great job you did! The ensemble is really awesome, also the details on the back.ReplyDelete
Definitely post more pictures! Your outfit is gogeous!! The skirt is really cute - it turned out cuter and looks better than I thought it would!ReplyDelete
I am truly impressed with the entire Ahn-SAHM!
This skirt is very flattering. It plays up your curves in a positive way. And you made it in my new favorite color, red.ReplyDelete
Gertie it's wonderful!ReplyDelete
Hot outfit!!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the response to my question of "how to ask to see a tattoo." Makes perfect sense and I should have known. Most of the time I am awed by the time & effort of the ink artist and the person sporting the tat.
Is it hot in here, or is it just Gertie?? Yowza. You know, it's always those books/library women you have to watch out for..ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 28, 2009 at 5:57 PM
Gertie, Your outfit is sensational. The colour, the style... all look great on you.ReplyDelete
Love it all, you look HOT just as everyone has said. Loving the skirt too. Never seen one like it.ReplyDelete
Great job
Magnifique! I too would like to see some additional shots, but not just details. I want to see a longer shot of the front of the skirt without your hands covering up the ruching, just to show it off better. :)ReplyDelete

Gertie- I love the outfit. What a great skirt pattern!ReplyDelete
So gorgeous! The detailing on the skirt is amazing! Wonderful job!!ReplyDelete
Great showcase for your curves. You look smoking hot and you've changed my mind about the bolero!ReplyDelete
Love. The. Suit. As a whole, fabulous!! What a great look!ReplyDelete
And that skirt? Seriously, yours looks better than Vogue's. When I looked at your skirt I wanted to make it. When I looked at the Vogue pattern I didn't want to make it. I then had to look at your skirt again to convince myself I need to make it.
Love, love, love!
Oh honey... it's beautiful...ReplyDelete
*envies those amazing skills of yours*
I do want more pictures! I am making a similar skirt for my part as a secretary in a 1960s play and was wondering what to pair it with. The bolero has inspired me! Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
This whole outfit is a dream! I love the red fabric and that attitude you carry it with. Well done!ReplyDelete
Gertie, just like everyone else said: You look stunning in this outfit. I'm not really a bolero person, but combined with that gorgeous skirt I think this is a beautiful outfit!ReplyDelete
My golly--I think my jaw just hit my desk! You look smashing, Gertie! I just adore the whole outfit; the color, the bolero (beautiful, beautiful job at reconstructing that missing piece...), and that hot skirt... Wow! ;)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Ok, you're probably bored by now with all the gushing comments, but I had to add my own gush. This is absolutely smashing on you. The color's great, the bolero's great. The skirt is to die for. Such a great pattern choice to go with the bolero. Beautiful!ReplyDelete
absolutely love it! the skirt is awesome. congrats!ReplyDelete

Hi Gertie,ReplyDelete
I just came across your blog...it's fab!
The reason for my message is that I'm new to the sewing world and have just finished making the Vogue skirt V8603 pattern A. I am very pleased with it BUT through all my excitement I totally forgot to write a step by step guide of how to make it!!! And am now struggling to remember as I wanted to re-make the skirt but in a different material.
I was just wondering, if you'd beable to help me with this???
- AnonymousJanuary 3, 2010 at 10:17 AM
There's a burdastyle skirt pattern that's similar (and free) that I'm thinking of sewing up soon...it's not quite as tailored-looking, but I like the sailor-style buttons and it appears to have built-in pockets where the ruching meets the front panel.ReplyDelete
Anyway, the whole ahn-sahm is fab, and you look great! I recently discovered your blog and love it. Thanks!
- AnonymousJanuary 3, 2010 at 10:18 AM
forgot to post the link to the pattern:ReplyDelete
You look classy and fab. Period.ReplyDelete
one year later... the skirt is fa-bu-lous! And the bolero, of course, as well. I love how you combined the two pieces.ReplyDelete
That skirt is to die for! Love it!ReplyDelete
Haha your ahn-sahm reminds me that my great aunt (80-something) in England told me that it's meant to be pronounced BOLL-uhro not bol-EH-ro! I love the lapels and the gathering detail on the skirt, beautiful!ReplyDelete
Absolutely fabulous ensemble, Miss Gertie. Your sewing is marvellous. I especially love the long lapels on the bolero and that skirt is a real joy to behold.ReplyDelete
How wonderful this Sagrb so thank youReplyDelete
I love that skirt. It looks perfect for someone who has no hips, like me, to give the impression of having some.ReplyDelete
As for "ensemble", it's more accurate to say AHN-SAHM-BLEH. I've lived in France for the last 12 years with my French husband.

Prospect Watch: Top 10 first basemen
Astros' Singleton, Cardinals' Adams, Brewers' Morris among group of big bats
MLB.com's 2013 Top 100 list will be unveiled on Tuesday, Jan. 29, on MLB.com as well as on a one-hour show on MLB Network, airing at 9 p.m. ET. Leading up to that, MLB.com takes a look at baseball's top 10 prospects at each position.
A year ago, when the Top 10 first base prospects were announced, it wasn't the deepest list in the world, with just the top three names hitting the overall Top 100 at the start of the 2012 season. Two of those three have since graduated, leaving the one name at the top of the 2013 Top 10 first basemen list of that caliber. Five others are returnees from last year's list.
The 2012 First-Year Player Draft provided two newcomers with hopes of adding some excitement to this group.
1. Jonathan Singleton, Astros: Originally drafted in the eighth round in 2009 by the Phillies,who signed him away from attending Long Beach State. Potentially blocked by Ryan Howard, the Phillies tried Singleton in the outfield, but when they dealt him to Houston in the '11 Hunter Pence deal, Singleton moved back to first, a better spot for him defensively. He has the ability to hit for average and get on-base, and the power has started to come. Singleton will begin the season serving a 50-game suspension for a marijuana suspension, but he will be allowed to play in spring games and is expected to have a good shot at the Majors if he continues to produce.
2. Matt Adams, Cardinals: Wherever he has gone, Adams has raked, hitting .300 or better at every Minor League stop since the Cardinals made him a 23rd-round pick in 2009 out of Slippery Rock University. The 2011 Texas League Player of the Year, Adams made his big league debut this past season and hit well in Triple-A, though an elbow injury interrupted his season. He's fine at first base, but it's Adams' bat that will land him a big-league job.
3. Hunter Morris, Brewers: Drafted out of Auburn in the fourth round in 2010, Morris has not disappointed in terms of living up to his offensive profile. The left-handed hitter has tapped into his raw power in each of his two full pro seasons, hitting 48 home runs in that span and winning the Southern League MVP Award last season. He's an acceptable defender at first base, but it's really his bat that will get him to the big leagues.
4. C.J. Cron, Angels: One of the better advanced college hitters in the 2011 Draft class, this University of Utah product did not disappoint in his first full season. The first-round pick led the Minors in RBIs last season, as his pitch recognition and pure hitting skills played well in the hitting-friendly California League. The son of Minor League manager Chris Cron, C.J. has had some injury issues in the past –- a torn labrum and a bad knee –- but while they will limit him to life as a first baseman, they haven't kept him from swinging a hot bat.
5. Darin Ruf, Phillies: When you're taken in the 20th round of the Draft as a college senior -- as Ruf was in 2009 out of Creighton -- the expectations aren't going to be all that high. It's safe to say Ruf already exceeded them by reaching the big leagues last season after leading the Minors in home runs. While he's played more first than anywhere, Ruf has seen time in left field as well, his flexibility adding to his value at the big-league level.
6. Matthew Olson, A's: The Georgia high school product came from the top-ranked prep program in the nation and was taken 47th overall last year. A two-way standout in high school, he would have continued hitting and pitching if he hadn't been signed away from Vanderbilt. The left-handed hitter is a good pure hitter who was already showing more power as a professional than expected at the start of his career. A third baseman as an amateur, he should be just fine at the other corner for the long-term as a run-producing first baseman.
7. Alex Dickerson, Pirates: An excellent college performer at Indiana, the Pirates took Dickerson's bat in the third round in 2011 and sent him right to the advanced Class A Florida State League for his full-season debut last year. His advanced hitting skills played just fine there, and he should hit for average and power going forward. The lefty didn't appear to have a defensive home coming out of college, but he's settled in nicely at first base, where he should profile well as a run-producer in the future.
8. Dan Vogelbach, Cubs: When Vogelbach was an amateur, he created a good amount of buzz with his left-handed power bat. Vogelbach has not disappointed as a pro after the Cubs took him in the second round in 2011. He has as much raw pop as anyone in the Minors at this position and can hit the ball out to all fields. Vogelbach has an advanced approach that has allowed him to get on base and hit for average. He was very out of shape in high school, but has worked hard to slim down since signing, something he will have to continue to do as his bat propels him up the organizational ladder.
top 10 first-base prospects
|Anthony Rizzo, CHC
|Eric Hosmer, KC
|Yonder Alonso, SD
|Freddie Freeman, ATL
|Jonathan Singleton, HOU
|Brandon Belt, SF
|C.J. Cron, LAA
|Jonathan Singleton, PHI
|Chris Parmelee, MIN
|Yonder Alonso, CIN
|Matt Adams, STL
|Christian Yelich, FLA
|Neftali Soto, CIN
|Anthony Rizzo, SD
|Chris Marrero, WAS
|Chris Carter, OAK
|Alex Dickerson, PIT
|Lars Anderson, BOS
|Dan Vogelbach, CHC
|Chris Owings, ARI
9. Keon Barnum, White Sox: There's nothing better than making a strong first impression. That's exactly what Barnum, a supplemental first-round pick of the White Sox in 2012 from the Tampa high school ranks, did after signing quickly. The big, strong left-handed hitter homered in three of his first four games before going down with a shoulder injury. Barnum did make it back in August for a brief spell. When he's healthy, the first baseman has tremendous bat speed which allows him to drive the ball to all parts of the ballpark. He should be able to hit it out of any ballpark in any direction as he refines his approach, though there will always be some swing-and-miss to his game. Barnum has the chance to develop into the kind of power-hitting run producer that profiles very well at first base.
10. Chris Marrero, Nationals: Marrero worked hard, moving up the Nats' ladder slowly after being a first-round pick out of high school back in 2006. He made it to the big leagues in '11 and looked just about ready to get a full-time shot in Washington last season. A torn hamstring cost him that opportunity, though he eventually did make it back to Triple-A. He's always had decent bat speed with some raw power and there's still time for him to show it more consistently in games.
